Great analysis; commonsense no-bullshit commentary. Thank you.😁

Gorgeous review mate..to my nose when this dries down it becomes more masculine which I enjoy a lot more than the opening, and it starts reminding me a lot of Diaghilev.however I will never give Roja money again after what he did with Great Britain and CE it’s just not right to drop the prices like that when there’s ppl paid double, like you mentioned it feels like they’ve stolen our money when we paid the old prices. Enjoyed the vid a lot just wonderful.

This is a must buy for all Chypré lovers. For me, fragrance isn't just about smell, it's about how it makes you feel. Chypré Extraordinaire makes me feel majestic. There's only ever been 2 fragrances that have made me feel majestic; Diaghilev and Chypré Extraordinaire. Chypré Extraordinaire is a true masterpiece. It's only right that a masterpiece like this was made by the grandmaster himself; Mr. Roja Dove.

Chypre E is an easy reach and people around me seem to like smelling it. I do agree it's so smooth (or even too smooth to the point it doesn't evoke your feelings) but I still think it's stunning and sometimes I kinda need those chypres that are easy and pretty wears. However, on my skin, it shines very late in the dry down when those animalic nuances and mossy accords creeps in - that stage reminds me a bit of Diaghilev.. it's sensual but not as sexual as D. It was great to hear your thoughts as now I can see the scent in different light, if you will. I actually prefer this style of reviewing, not too technical but more of a feeling. Keep these coming!

I watch your videos most times and to be honest you sound like you’re a professor of perfumery and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Love watching your videos. My favorite fragrance of all time is Roja Dove Diaghilev and in my honest opinion in terms of scent it’s way way better than mitsouko.

Great Britain is my fave leather. I have a small decant and it is my treasure. Can’t believe that they have reduced its cost by a thousand. I just think something’s up. The hypothesis that they have cut the quality of the ingredients is feasible. A comparison of the formulations (before and after the reduction of the costs) is mandatory at this point.

[filippomearelli]

I’m going to send you a selection of the stuff (except Oqachol 😂) released from the brands Parfum Prissana and Prin. Think that you might like some of them. Thanks Boss for sharing your skills. Ps: Prin Lomros is one of my fave “new” perfumers.

According to Roja himself, any of his perfumes that do not sell well or get discontinued is moved to his haute parfumerie.

Melangrano by Santa Maria Novella. I visited this when I went to Florence. Amazing experience.

Great review! The reasons you hate it is why i enjoy Chypre Ex, and can not wear Diaghilev lol!

[justaddlight]

Maybe a video series where you do up to 6 samples in one vid - setting yourself a time limit for each, say 5 minutes? No need for background or context, just the scent, comparison with others in the genre (without showing the bottles for brevity) and how you feel about it. Your sampling livestreams are already a great start. I love that you take your time with every review and impressions vid Ramsey, but this could be the only way to may a dent in those vials, especially if they're fragrances that are just "meh" for you. What a way to train the nose too. You've made such progress.

[ramywilliam]

Thanks for the great video, Diaghilev is indeed a superior chypre.
There is a high probability that they reformulated Great Britain and Chypre Extraordinaire prior to the price reduction.
I heard even rumors that Diaghilev is getting watered down.

[ciprianiulian]

In 2018 the price was 1450 sterling pounds, and now its 750. And its sold only at Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie. It is not part of Roja Parfums anymore. Its didnt sell well, that was the problem. But even at 750 pounds, the profit its made. Dont forget that Diaghilev was 120 pounds back in 2011. So by selling a Diaghilev at 795 pounds, Roja still makes a huge profit.

[filippomearelli]

Poutpourry is the only full bottle that I own from Santa Maria Novella. For “green-edible”lovers only imho. It is a mixture of the most pungent aromatic herbs currently used in Italian cuisine. There is a prominent Laurel-bay leaf note which is similar to that of Laurel by CdG. Pick up a strong “stone” note in the dry down too (even if it is not listed).

[dusanninic]

Thank you Ramsey for this review.
So we can say that Chypre Extraordinary is an "empty", soulless chypre, since it was made without oakmoss.
Well, that says a lot about the importance of the oakmoss in many fragrances, not just in Chypre category.
IFRA caused the extinction level of oakmoss in modern perfumery.
Only indie houses can save it for fragheads.

Could you please do a top 10 fragrances that don’t smell similar to everything else.I’m finding that a lot of fragrances smell similar thanks

[phyllisiervello]

I have a bottle of atelier Des Ors. Iris Fauve and I know you would love it and the bottle is beautiful.

[pwj]

Finally got a sample of this today in the mail, I have to admit it’s very nice, but it’s just boring

[NT-lgvi]

I kind of get a kick out of how you say Eau de Toilette!

Happy to catch the unboxing of my samples! I’m a lady by the way ;)

You are in luck there are now 3 eBay listings for Guerlain Metallica. $1650, $!950 and $2600. I'm holding out for free shipping... lol McQueen Parfum is a Jasmine overdose... I luv it. Not a cheap frag. RD Chypre Extraordinaire (CE) they dropped the price from 1800 to 750 bp. Yeah I still see retailers selling high. I sort of think RD is trying to move the juice they have to discontinue. I picked up another bottle after seeing the price drop. Diaghilev is very good also. I have that one also. CE sillage and projection is awesome.
